Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Working fine for me.

Damn you Apple!
More likely Firefox, or both. It's only this page, not even other pages in this thread.

It's apparently not an Adblock issue.

Idk how to diagnose or fix the issue. Wait, it might be me. Very top of this page I have a post where I tried to embed 38-3O0IHquM. It's not showing for me and won't work in a new or replied-to post. Please delete the embed for me and let me know when you've done so. Thanks.
I'm not seeing it.

Logs show you deleted four posts in this thread today, two early this morning and two in early afternoon. I cannot see deleted posts.

Try rebooting your computer.
I'm not talking about deleted posts. It's the very first post on page 116, Feb 20, 2026 4:15 pm.

It's good we have an issue in common. Can you see the embed when you quote my post?
Did you ever wonder what you'd have done during the rise of fascism? You're doing it right now.

This is the first post I see on 116.

Is it weird that Eli Manning is shilling for both Jersey Mike's and King's Hawaiian Sliders at the same time? I can't think of other instances where someone pitches competing food or other products simultaneously.
Feb 20 is about halfway down.

Failure often feels heavier when someone is watching. It’s not the fall that hurts most, it’s the doubt that follows. In this moment, she learned something far bigger than a gymnastic skill. She learned that mistakes don’t mean stop. They mean pause, breathe, and try again. The coach didn’t lower the standard. He raised her belief. That’s real growth. Confidence isn’t built by avoiding failure, it’s built by experiencing it and realizing you’re still capable. The win isn’t the landing. The win is choosing not to quit when things get uncomfortable.

We must have differing numbers of posts per page. Anyhow, you've got the correct Feb 20. The embed that may be problematic is right above " :shock: I've never seen that with a kid so tiny."

I was ready to give up on it since the new page was working properly, but now that you quoted me this page 117 won't complete loading :angry-banghead: . Maybe try removing the embed from your post above and we'll see what that does.

Off topic-ush, but check out the Brave browser. I exclusively use that these days. It's got a bunch of built in privacy and security services.

That fixed it, THANKS! Idk what the problem was. As you know, I embed all the time. I see that you removed the direct link, too. Smart, could be that was the problem. It did load slowly for me. Ironic that it is a tiny kid vid that caused a big issue for me. :headscratch:

It's also weird that the issue didn't show up until Whack9 posted a new embed. Let's see what it does now:

Edit: Nope, won't post and it jams the page for me. You try if you want, ugwgv7m_QJA .

I see nothing and the page is jammed again. Please make it stop.

Edit: Oh wait, the hallucinogenic embed is there, works fine and the page isn't stuck. Maybe I jumped the gun.

:lol: Good one, Whack9.

how very MAYA of her 😂 👏🏻

:shock: :-|| Stunning
This isn't just Maya getting it perfect on the first go...it's (photographer) Eva getting it, too!! Give yourself some credit, ma'am!!!
She is Maya "I don't do two takes" Schonbrun. Not out of arrogance, just because its polite....
... Years in the making for such priceless moments.
She takes instructions immediately and executes them perfectly. That is a talent all by itself, over and above her ballet excellence.
Maya don’t asks questions
Maya delivers. Perfectly. Every time.
Maya has such a quirky silly vibe and switches so quick from that to the most elegant dancer ever in .2 seconds. Iconic

Stunning photography. My brother in laws career was specializing in photos much like that, he did the bulk of those in black and white.
